Hello,

I attempted an upgrade on a physical server from Windows server 2003 x64 standard SP2 to windows server 2008 r2 enterprise and it hangs at the last stage "transferring files, settings and programs" on 40%. It lasted about 2 hours then I rolled it back to 2003. Anti-virus software has been removed. This was done within windows not booting directly to setup.

Any ideas??

I've done all that but it hangs at the last stage on 40%. It passes the compatibility test after a few adjustments. Might be some other software/hardware incompatibilities that it doesnt mention.

But you shouldn't rule out a possible Hardware issue like Failing RAM and test all of the Hardware First.

You can use the Ultimate Boot CD which is a free application to test the hardware with. It has all of the standard testing utilities included.

Remember to download the ISO File not click on the add on this page. If you are asked for payment you have clicked on the wrong link. ;)
